I have Baan IV.

I don´t know if is possible import text.

I need import purchase orders text.


Thanks

This is possible using Baan Exchange. If it is just a text line you can map it directly to the text field. Baan uses special begin-text and end-text markers for importing texts of variable length. This is somewhere described in the documentation, but it is easier to just make an export of the text to see how the format looks.

Alternatively you can use the Text functions in Baan to write/read text to/from a file.

This is an example, for importing text using the multi-line method in exchange."

1. Create an ASCII-file.

EXAMPLE-TEXT
{\{ txta 2

}\}

2. Import the ASCII file in TRITON.

The following occurs:

* The text is created in language 2. This means that table tttxt001,
tttxt002 and tttxt010 are updated. Let's say the text number is 12345.

* The field 'txta' for the record 'EXAMPLE-ITEM' in the item file (tiitm001) is
updated. The value of the field tiitm001.txta is now 12345.

Note: It's a bit more complicated than this. The exchange module has to be configured correctly, to give a correct result. When the exchange is incorrectly configured it is possible that the referring field is not created, even though the text has been created. So, please read the manual or the help information.

There are a couple of ways to get text into Baan IV. If what you want to do is to copy text that is already in the system, then within the text editor window you can select the option Fast Copy text, then as long as you know how to find the text you want, either by navigating the keywords or entering the text number, you can copy it to the open text.

For external text, the best option is to use Tools to set the default text type in the text group you are using for purchase orders to external editor. Then when you open the text editor window you will get a Notepad screen to which you can paste text from other sources.
